Laundromats offer residents that do not have access to a washing machine or dryer within their home or apartment building a chance to do their laundry at a reasonable price. Many of these facilities feature coin operated machines for their clients, as well as other services, like detergent dispensers, or rentable irons and steamers. If you are considering investing in a laundromat, or you are simply interested in using one, familiarize yourself with the terms below:

Launderettes - This is another term used to denote a self service laundromat, though this term is predominantly used within the United Kingdom. Depending on the facility, it may offer twenty four hour service for customers to get their clothes clean.

Washaterias - Another term used to describe public clothes washing facilities. They are usually open twenty four hours, and are coin operated.

Fluff and Fold - These are companies where clothing can be dropped off to be washed, fluffed, and folded for the clients. Some of these companies will also pick up or drop-off the clothing for an additional charge.

Service Wash - This type of laundromat offers staff to monitor washing machines so that clothes are not stolen from the machine while they are being cleaned. They often feature additional services, such as detergents that can be purchased on site, as well as clothing washing and delivery.

Dry Cleaning - Though a dry cleaning facility is not the same as a laundry service, this type of company offers special care for clothing and materials that need to be steamed, or cleaned with more care than the average t-shirt or jeans.

Self service laundromats provide customers with the ability to wash and dry their clothes if they don't have the necessary machines at home. Typically, they are located near apartments, colleges, and areas where a lot of the population doesn't have access to private washing machines.
Laundromats will have all the supplies needed for their customers to wash and dry their clothes. Detergents, irons, and starches can be bought and dispensed through coin-operated machines. Customers can choose if they want to use warm or cold water, or a fluff-n-fold service. Customers can choose to bring their own soap so they only have to pay to use the machines.
Visiting several different laundromats will be the best way to test the equipment, learn what hours they're open, and if they're a public facility. Some laundromats will have new machines with quicker wash and dry times than others. By visiting several locations, customers can learn the price of the soaps and detergents if they don't bring their own. They will also know when the best time is to not have to wait to wash their clothes.
Some self service laundromats may have beverages and food available while customers wait for their clothes to be cleaned. Most will have chairs and waiting areas so their customers can read a book, watch TV, or get some homework done. Laundromats will have peak times for business. Customers may want to try and avoid these times since it can take a while before a machine is free to start cleaning their clothes.
